Common Questions

Why is tissue grafting important for implants?
Adequate gum tissue around an implant prevents recession, protects the underlying bone, and creates a natural-looking emergence profile for your crown.
Is tissue grafting done at the same time as implant placement?
Sometimes. Depending on your tissue quality, it may be done before, during, or after implant placement.
How long is recovery?
Most patients resume normal activities within a few days. The graft site heals fully in 2-4 weeks.
